Elise Plans - Examples of Work

2018: Elements - Work in Progress

Elements puts together various adaptive music investigations of different music generation techniques. This app needs a UI, and the UX is yet to be decided, other than the music becomes more upbeat as you move around.

2013: LiZZE - Music for iPad Game

2013: Assassin's Creed - Audio Rewrite Project

This was a short exercise in writing audio to video using Logic Pro. I stripped most of the audio off, but tried to keep some of the sound effects, as I didn't want this to be an exercise in sound design. However, I ended up needing to add a couple of effects of my own, as I found their absence jarring.

This was created in a very short time to test working with video in Logic, as I had previously used ProTools.

2002: Brushworks - MMus Submission

"Brushworks" was created in 2002 as part of my MMus in Electroacoustic Composition.
We were privileged to have Clive Walley as a visiting lecturer, and were allowed to choose one of his animations from his series of 6 Divertimenti to experiment with our own soundtrack.

I had been keen to experiment with prepared piano, and the audio is composed from a recording of an improvisation of David Casal, and myself on soprano saxophone.

2001: Daylights - Sonimation Commission

This was one of the most definitive works in my academic career. Collaborating with animator Sarah Woodward, we won one of 6 commissions from Sound and Music (formerly Sonic Arts Network) to create a short film based around the idea of the collaboration between a sonic and visual artist.

The ambitious aim was to present the progress of a lifetime analogous to the passing of a day.
